The Core in Weightlifting and Athletics

The Core in Weightlifting and Athletics

In the last part of this series, I will discuss how the core applies to athletics and weightlifting. Until now, all the discussions have solely been about the core, controlling its position, and making it work dynamically as it should for specific core exercises; what about the transfer to higher level activities? How come some people say dedicated core training isn’t necessary because they squat and lift heavy? How come some people never do dedicated core training, but are good at sports and lift relatively heavy weights?
